Answer 1

The numbers should be less than 16 . The numbers can be 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 ............15

Explanation:

Eight less than four times a number is less than 56 . The expression can be written below

let

the number = a

4a - 8 < 56

add 8 to both sides

4a - 8 + 8 < 56 + 8

4a < 64

divide both sides by 4

a < 64/4

a < 16

The numbers should be less than 16 . The numbers can be 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 ............15
